I love it when the handles aren't green! I tend to lose things otherwise. This 18 gauge stainless steel soil scoop has a nice bright red handle with a comfortable grip. It's edges are serrated so it cuts roots, opens soil bags, severs weeds, digs holes and does everything else that a normal trowel can do. Use it by flipping it over which produces a natural hand extension and makes it ergonomically preferable. It's easy on the wrist. It has a patented spoon shaped blade with a sharply pointed tip and it's great for digging in pots and containers and planting and moving bulbs. It's a great pumpkin scooper too! ONLY PURPLE HANDLES LEFT...HOPE THAT'S OK!
